Showcase, learn, connect

Hosted by the largest news site devoted to all things microgrid, the conference series creates a venue to advance microgrids and distributed energy resources by showcasing the latest in technology, ideas and government policy. Microgrid buyers can explore the possibilities, all in one place, and learn how microgrids can help them achieve their energy reliability, sustainability and budgetary goals.

Microgrid 2020 also offers microgrid providers, large and small, the opportunity to make new industry connections and re-establish partnerships.

Five floors of conference space

With five floors of conference space at the DoubleTree Hilton in Philadelphia’s city center, Microgrid 2020’s venue allows for more content, speakers and networking opportunities, as Microgrid Knowledge prepares for what it expects to be its largest event yet.
